| firmware or BIOS, allowing instant-on applications to be run from it at any

Phoenix HyperSpace: Quick-Boot Your Laptop

,----[ Quote ]
| Phoenix Technologies' new HyperSpace is an instant-on environment for 
| laptops, letting users launch a browser or other apps with booting into the 
| OS.  
| 
| Today, Phoenix Technologies introduced a firmware product called HyperSpace, 
| which allows PCs to run a number of applications separate from the operating 
| system. What that means is that if you use a PC equipped with HyperSpace, you 
| will be able to quick-boot your notebook into a secure Linux environment, 
| where you can use Web browsers like FireFox and pre-loaded Web-aware apps 
| like Google Earth, Picasa, and the like.     
| 
| [...]
| 
| Also, since HyperSpace is a Linux-based platform, Windows viruses won't 
| affect it.

| hat last part is perhaps the most interesting; ASUS are calling it Express 
| Gate, but it’s basically a fast-boot alternative that, in just five seconds, 
| bypasses Windows and gives you a web-browser running in a custom Linux OS.

Mach Boot: The live CD that supposedly boots in 10 seconds

,----[ Quote ]
| Mach Boot won't replace Knoppix, and it won't replace Puppy, DSL or NimbleX 
| either. But it's a tool all its own, one that could be very useful with a 
| little more development time.
